2500 years ago, Syracuse was a powerhouse city-state aligned with Sparta and Corinth that controlled much of southern Italy. This Sicilian city offers travelers Greco-Roman ruins, medieval archways and ultra-modern Italian fashion, so take a private Syracuse tour and experience the region's history and culture with a local guide.

Follow your guide through the narrow streets of Ortygia until you arrive at the ruins of the temples to the Greek gods Apollo and Athena, then climb the ramparts of the Swabian castle for panoramic views. Then hop in your guide's car and head to Noto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can duck inside Noto Cathedral, rebuilt after its collapse following an earthquake in 1990, and listen as your guide explains the painstaking restoration work.

Wander pedestrianized <i>Corso Vittorio Emanuele</i>, stopping to shop or sip espresso, then return to Syracuse for seafood pasta loaded with mussels and clams, followed with cocktails on the Piazzetta San Rocco.
